The Real Housewives of NJ gets a second season

If I go to Hell after I die, I'm quite certain that part of my eternal punishment would be sitting in a room with all the Real Housewives of New Jersey for all eternity. Therefore the following piece of news is about as close to Hell on Earth as I can get: popular rumor has it that Bravo has renewed The Real Housewives of New Jersey for a second season.

I was born and bred in New Jersey (those of you offering condolences can shut it right now. I like New Jersey). As a result of sharing my humble abode with someone of the female persuasion, I have been subjected to this program. I can personally attest that very few people in New Jersey actually act like these "housewives". If you're planning a vacation, please don't let the behaviors of these women put you off from visiting the Garden State.

However, to give credit, the program did lead to a funny sketch on Chelsea Lately. The video of that is after the jump.

The town definitely wasn't like that growing up, but I'm under the impression more and more people are like that now. I hate using the term "new rich," especially since my family was never-rich, but that's pretty much what's ruined the town. People like those women move in with the impression that money = class. They think they're hot stuff and important due to the cash in their wallets. Then they do classless stuff like marble columns or new rims on their Mercedes.

I'm also told that plenty of people in the town spit in their path. I don't live there anymore and have only seen one of them out once, but it was before I'd seen the show so I had no clue who it was.
